Boycotting Food Products Of Israeli Origin
Assalam Alaikum,
What does Quran/Islam say about this? i.e. boycotting (especially) food products of Jewish/israeli origin etc. I was concerned if it would fall under the strict warning in Quran where Allah asked us to NOT make unlawful all good things (referring to food) that Allah has made lawful.
Please suggest if we “should” or “must” or “not at all” boycott especially in these times, and why/why not.
Thank you, jazakAllah khair,
Hasan

It is primarily not a religious issue but a strategic one whether to boycott certain Isareli products or not. And if done so, then it is not same as making things (dietary) unlawful declared lawful by Allah. This religious notion (i.e. Quran 5:87) is against making things unlawful as a religious biddah or because of some polytheistic superstition. Personal liking/disliking or choosing not to eat something because of any non-religious reason does not fall within ambit of this directive.
(For further details, please read footnote [455] of Ghamidi Sahab under Quran 5:87 at the following link: https://www.javedahmedghamidi.org/#!/quran?chapter=5¶graph=39&type=Ghamidi)
As for the economic boycott, following is an old video on the topic of Palestine Israel conflict where similar question of economic boycott was asked from Ghamidi Sahab.
Please refer to the video below from 13:20 to 17:15 and from 19:24 to 20:28
